Our Skin Cancer Services
Diagnose & Prevention
Our skin cancer screening services offer a complete skin examination by digital dermoscopy, where moles and other skin lesions can be photographed and recorded on a body map for accurate diagnosis and follow-up.
This screening process takes 15-20 minutes and involves photography of skin cancers or other skin spots of interest. These images are stored securely within the medical records and are used only to diagnose, monitor and treat skin cancers.
Using advanced imaging techniques, we capture detailed photographs of all your moles. The Full Body Mole Mapping involves taking around 30 zoomed-out photos from different angles to document all the spots on your skin. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our imaging software can then analyse for changes to any of these spots, allowing us to detect skin cancers earlier.
Transform and enhance the appearance of scars with our Scar Revision Services. Whether your scars result from previous surgeries, injuries, or skin conditions, our skilled professionals offer a range of surgical and non-surgical solutions.
Non-Surgical Procedures
Our Topical Treatments Service provides targeted solutions for managing precancerous lesions and early-stage skin cancers. By applying medicated cream solutions directly to the affected area, we offer a non-invasive option for effective treatment.
Cryosurgery is a minimally invasive approach using extreme cold to treat abnormal tissues. Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze and eliminate precancerous lesions or superficial skin cancers.
Surgical Procedures
Discover our Wide Local Excision Service, a comprehensive and effective approach to skin cancer removal. Our skilled team of skin specialists remove the cancerous tissue along with a margin of healthy surrounding skin, ensuring thorough extraction under local anesthesia.
Skin Grafts involve transplanting healthy skin from one part of your body to another, covering surgical wounds resulting from skin cancer removal. Trust us for expert care that ensures optimal healing and cosmetic restoration.
Skin flaps are reconstructive procedures that use advanced techniques to move skin and blood vessels from one area to another. This ensures comprehensive coverage of surgical sites, resulting in both functional and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
